Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 355: Northern Expedition
"Go into the mountains and talk about things."

The gangster didn't say a word, and didn't even return the greeting. He just stepped on the fairy cloud and slowly flew into the Hall of Salvation on the Laojun Mountain.

This could be said to be an act of not giving any face at all, but the many Taoist priests who guard the meridians did not react at all. It could even be said that they would be surprised if the gangsters did not have this attitude.

Jiang Lin followed behind the gangster, and as the fairy cloud slowly flew by, he also saw the Taoist masters who were guarding the meridians.

Each of them is a leader among the Golden Immortals. Once they enter the Heavenly Palace, they will be at least a fourth-grade supreme god.

And those young men standing next to the Taoist masters who guard the meridians are naturally the protagonists of this sutra conference. Each of them is a genius of the various meridians.

No young person expressed dissatisfaction with the gangsters' attitude, and no one was stupid enough to stand up and talk nonsense.

Everyone present is smart and knows what can and cannot be done.

My own Taoist master and so many Golden Immortal masters didn’t say anything, so who am I?

A group of Taoist priests rode on fairy clouds into the Hall of Salvation, while a group of young geniuses were properly arranged by the disciples of Laojun Mountain.

Jiang Lin naturally followed the gangster into the Hall of Salvation.

Although he also wanted to go down with those geniuses and have some quiet time, after all, judging from his age, Jiang Lin could be considered one of the younger ones among these geniuses.

But obviously, the Taoists will not "let Jiang Lin go".

Therefore, among the Taoist priests with white hair and beards or those with childlike faces and white hair, the young man Jiang Lin was so eye-catching.

Jiang Lin originally thought that at least Liu Yunxiu was there to "suffer" with him, but when he entered the Hall of Salvation, he found that there was no trace of Liu Yunxiu at all.

"Your Highness is practicing and comprehending the Taoist classics in order to gain something."

Master Su Yi said this to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin nodded. This was obviously Liu Yunxiu's idea. It would be impossible to meet Taiqing Daozu now. Even if he asked the other two Daozu to act as a bridge, it would probably be difficult.

Then there is only one way, that is, to try every possible way to get closer to the Taoist Ancestor from another level in order to obtain enlightenment.

Comprehending the Taoist classics is a good breakthrough.

Of course, it's only a good solution among the stupid methods, but the problem is that there is no better solution now.

It's just a helpless choice.

"Tianshi Dao, Shangqing Sect, Longmen, Baiyun Temple."

At this moment, the gangster suddenly called out the name.

The four Dharma lineages are all well-known within Taoism. The first two are Zhengyi, and the last two are Quanzhen.

As soon as he finished speaking, four Taoist masters stepped out from the crowd and nodded to the gangster.

"I've met Taoist friends."

The gangster glanced over and his straightforward voice rang out in the Hall of Rescue.

"There are many Taoist sects, and the four sects that hold the reins are you. What do you think of today's incident?"

When gangsters speak, they never use honorifics or beat around the bush, except for this gangster. If anyone else dared to speak like this, wouldn't he be spitted to death by the other gangsters?
The four Taoist masters who were named looked at each other, feeling helpless.

Being the leader of the Taoist world may sound impressive, but in reality, it is only on the surface.

Taoism is too large and has too many lineages, especially when the scope is expanded to the four continents.

The four major Dharma lineages just mentioned, at most, have more people and slightly better geniuses.

An overwhelming advantage? Not really.

Counting up, who doesn’t have a big boss to support the family?

Let's not talk about the others, just the Qiyun Taisu Palace and Dayue Taihe Palace, the two Zhenwu Dharma lineages. If we really get serious, who can't touch the two if they merge?
"Since you have mentioned my name, I will say a few words."

Finally, the Taoist priest from the Heavenly Master's Mansion stood up, looked around, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, compared with you fellow Taoists, I am a latecomer, and I have the audacity to hold the position of Heavenly Master."

"During the old Taoist's time, a Luotian Grand Ceremony was also held."

The genuine Taoist master of the Tianshi Mansion thought for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about other things for now. We must prepare for the Sutra Conference first."

"But how to prepare and how long to prepare requires some thought, but then again..."

At this point, the Taoist priest of the Heavenly Master Mansion stroked his beard and smiled, "Now, the geniuses from all the major Dharma lines have gathered together. Even if there is no Sutra Conference, we should take the opportunity to have some exchanges, otherwise it would be a pity."

"What do you think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many fellow Taoists nodded slowly in approval.

Most of the Taoist priests who are here now have been "cheated" by Jiang Lin and Taoist Su Yi. People have already arrived. If the scripture conference cannot be held and the scriptures cannot be produced in the end, the entire Taoist sect will be embarrassed.

At this time, it is of no use even if the main responsibility and the secondary responsibility are clearly distinguished. The only difference is whether you embarrass the adults or the villains.

It's all shame in the final analysis.

But now is not the time to kick Su Yi's old face. The most urgent task now is to think of a solution quickly.

The Taoist masters have reached a tacit consensus to delay the time as much as possible while conditions permit.

Although the longer it drags on, the more well-known this conference will become, if something goes wrong in the end, the consequences will be more serious.

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do but drink poison to quench our thirst.

"We old men will wait for His Highness first. Before the official conference, let our subordinates have some exchanges."

"As for the details of the Sutra Conference... how about we follow the Luotian Grand Ceremony?"

After the Taoist priest from Tianshi Mansion finished speaking, he looked around again.

All of you Taoist priests are experienced and wise, and you all know that the arrangement made by the Taoist priest of Tianshi Mansion is the best measure at present.

Therefore, no one has any objection.

"So, Brother Xiao Jiang?"

The Taoist priest from Tianshi Mansion looked at Jiang Lin who was hiding in the corner.

Jiang Lin was called, raised his head and walked over, bowed and said: "Jiang Xuanying greets all the Taoist masters."

"You don't have to be polite, Brother Xiao Jiang. You heard what the old Taoist said just now."

The Taoist priest of Tianshi Mansion smiled and said, "We old guys have to prepare for the Sutra Conference according to the scale of Luotian Dajiao. I wonder if we can leave the communication matters of those little kids under us to you, Daoist Fellow Xiao Jiang?"

Jiang Lin nodded without surprise and said, "I will naturally obey what you fellow Taoists have said, but I just need you to give me some rules."

He could see that the Taoist masters were taking precautions to prevent the problem from happening.

If things go wrong in the end, Jiang Lin won't be able to escape, but if he is not deeply involved and the responsibility falls on him personally, he can bear less responsibility.

This is also the thought that you Taoists have not expressed.

"There are no rules. Just do as you see fit, Brother Jiang."

The Taoist priest of Tianshi Mansion waved his hand and said with a smile: "As long as no one dies, everything else is a small matter."

As the saying goes, Taoism and medicine are inseparable. All Taoist disciples know a little about pharmacology, not to mention that nowadays all Taoist lineages have gathered together, and many of them are bigwigs who major in medicine.

Even if a real fire breaks out, it's not a big deal.

"So, I understand."

Jiang Lin simply nodded, said goodbye to the Taoist priests, and left the Hall of Rescue.

For the next period of time, I have nothing to do.

The matter of scriptures has now become a concern for all the Taoists, not just Jiang Lin.

By the way, Jiang Lin still can't figure out why Daozu did this until now.

You know, even if the scriptures were not lost, Laojun Mountain would still have to hold a scriptures conference, at most there would not be so many Taoist priests coming.

and many more……

Jiang Lin turned his head to take a look at the Hall of Rescue where all the Taoist priests had gathered.

Could this be the original intention of the Taoist Patriarch?
Gather together all the Taoist lineage guardians?
But what is the purpose of this?
One puzzle was barely solved, but more puzzles arose.

For a moment, Jiang Lin had no idea and temporarily put these things aside.

Now he also has things to do. Today's Laojun Mountain not only gathers a group of Taoist masters who guard the veins, but also gathers the geniuses of all the Taoist lineages in the four continents.

The disciples who are brought by their Taoist masters to participate in the Sutra Conference are all the best in their respective lineages.

It can even be said that if the current Laojun Mountain is destroyed in one fell swoop, it will be a great harm to the entire Taoist sect.

The lack of successors in Taoism will become a reality.

"Exchange with each other..."

Jiang Lin muttered the word, thought about it, and then flew straight up, with his voice echoing throughout Laojun Mountain.

"Fellow Daoists, please show yourself."

Not long after the words were spoken, Laojun Mountain, which had just become quiet, was once again filled with noise.

The geniuses of the Taoist lineages from the four continents all showed up.

They all looked at the figure hovering in the air.

They are all geniuses in the world, so they are all well-informed. They all know that the Taoist in black, who is about the same age as them, is the biggest "anomaly" in the Three Realms today.

After only practicing Taoism for a year or so, he has already achieved the Golden Immortal that countless practitioners have been striving to achieve.

They are on the same level as the Taoist masters who gathered in the Hall of Salvation.

What’s even more terrifying is that, from any perspective, this person is a new generation in the Three Realms.

Jiang Lin, Jiang Xuanying, the only direct descendant of the Emperor of Fengdu, a proxy practitioner of Ziwei Sect, the new generation leader of the Three Realms, a golden immortal, a fourth-rank black law master of the Heavenly Court, and a deacon of the Hall of Justice.

Each of these titles is something that countless people can only dream of but cannot reach.

Such a fellow Taoist is an honor for the Taoist sect, but it is a despair for the geniuses of the same generation as them.

If Jiang Lin had just reached the fairyland first, no genius would be discouraged, but would instead be inspired to fight harder.

But facing a Golden Immortal...

Even among the geniuses present, not many dared to guarantee that they could become golden immortals and escape the suffering of reincarnation.

There are even quite a number of geniuses who set themselves the ultimate goal of becoming a Golden Immortal and living forever.

The goal that I was prepared to strive for my whole life, and which might not necessarily be achieved, only took the person in front of me a year to achieve.

This huge gap has made it impossible for people to even feel frustration or jealous, and all that is left is endless despair.

"We are waiting to meet Brother Jiang Dao!"

Thousands of Taoist geniuses stood in various places on Laojun Mountain and saluted together towards the Taoist in black clothes in the air.

At this moment, without any proof, Jiang Lin has already become the leader of the new generation of Taoism.

"My fellow Taoists, the Taoist masters of each lineage have ordered us to share our knowledge and experience with each other before the Sutra Conference to verify our respective cultivation achievements."

Jiang Lin spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears.

"I am fortunate to be designated as the responsible one by you Taoists..."

‘Boom! ! ! ! ’

Before Jiang Lin could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud thunder.

He suddenly looked up, looking somewhat surprised.

I saw dark clouds rolling in the sky and thunder roaring.

Amidst the dark clouds and thunder, the figure of a thunder general was looming.

"I am Ling Xiao's messenger, a fourth-rank mage of the Black Law Division. Where is Jiang Xuanying?"

The voice of the Thunder General spread throughout the Laojun Mountain and also alarmed the Taoist priests in the Salvation Hall.

As the aura of the Taoist masters spread out, the figure of the messenger who delivered the imperial edict paused.

Jiang Lin was sharp-eyed and saw that the messenger who delivered the imperial edict swallowed his saliva quietly. Perhaps the messenger had not expected that there were so many golden immortals hidden in Laojun Mountain.

"Jiang Xuanying once again respectfully listens to Ling Xiao's decree."

Jiang Lin roughly guessed what was going on and his expression became much more serious.

The messenger had seen a lot of things, and was brought back to his senses by Jiang Lin's words. He said in a stern voice: "I am following Ling Xiao's order to summon Jiang Xuanying from the Black Law Division to go to the Heavenly Court to recruit the Northern Army's front army and serve as the supervisor of the front army. You must come as soon as possible and do not stay!"

"If there is any delay, the thunder will not forgive you!"

Jiang Lin was not surprised when he heard this, as he thought they were preparing to take action against Beijuluzhou.

Although the Heavenly Court is indeed stretched to the limit now, if one is determined to accomplish something, then the efficiency will definitely not be slow.

Not to mention, this time almost all the war god-level generals in heaven were gathered.

They are all veteran generals who have fought on many battles and are iron-fisted commanders. Who dares to delay?

"Jiang Xuan should obey the order."

Ling Xiao's imperial edict was there, so Jiang Lin naturally had no intention of disobeying it, and he simply accepted the order immediately.

But, I’m going to supervise the front army myself?
is this necessary?

Jiang Lin thought about it and realized that the commander of the front army was his superior, the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and the deputy commander, Wang Lingguan, was his half-master, and the vanguard officer, Nezha the Third Prince, was also familiar to him.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is, with the ability of these three to command the army, and since these three are the three leaders of the front army, their respective trusted troops will naturally be incorporated into the front army. In this case, as a military supervisor, what else can I do except be a decoration?
What was he supervising? The thunder soldiers of Master Wang Lingguan? The demon-suppressing army of Zhenwu Great Emperor? Or the Zhongtan Vanguard Camp of Nezha the Third Prince?

Gold plating?
Stop making a fuss. Not to mention that Jiang Lin is unwilling, even if he wanted to, Emperor Zhenwu and the teacher would not arrange it this way.

Although Jiang Lin was a little confused, the military order was there, so he could only report for duty first.

"Little Daoist Brother Jiang, go ahead and leave the Sutra Conference to us."

The voice of Master Su Yi sounded in his ears. Jiang Lin did not answer, but nodded in the direction of Laojun Mountain, and then turned into a ray of lightning and went straight to the heaven.

At this time in the Heavenly Palace, the immortals and gods who were extremely busy in the past became even busier.

The dispatch of the three armed forces is not an ordinary matter, every detail must be done to perfection.

"Master Jiang, report to Lingxiao Palace immediately!"

As soon as he arrived at the South Gate of Heaven, Jiang Lin heard the voice of Vaisravana.

Without time to answer, Jiang Lin went straight to Lingxiao Palace.

There was a murderous atmosphere in Lingxiao Palace.

Basically all the people seen are military generals, there are no civil officials, except Taibai Jinxing.

This person not only stood in the row of military generals, but also stood at the very front. Even Marshal Tianpeng and Emperor Zhenwu were ranked behind him.

If the ancestor of heaven is the first prime minister of heaven, then Taibai Jinxing is the first god of war in heaven!
"Your Highness, I am Jiang Xuanying, a fourth-rank mage of the Black Law Department and a steward of the Judicial Hall. I have been ordered to come here to serve as the military supervisor of the Heavenly Court's Northern Expedition Army!"

As soon as Jiang Lin walked into Lingxiao Palace, he called out the names loudly.

"reset."

Taibai Jinxing glanced at Jiang Lin, then raised his head and said, "Your Excellency, the front troops of the Northern Expedition Army have been rectified. Please give orders!"

Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that he was the last one to arrive?
On the nine-tiered cloud platform of the Lingxiao Palace, Yang Jian, wearing the crown of the Emperor of Heaven, glanced at all the gods present, his voice filled with an extremely strong murderous aura.

Yang Jian slowly said, "Emperor Zhenwu, Wang Lingguan, Nezha... Jiang Lin, where are they?"

Jiang Lin never thought that his name would be listed alongside the three generals of the front army, so he hurried out of the ranks to salute.

"I respectfully listen to Ling Xiao's orders!"

Yang Jian's voice rolled in Lingxiao Palace, and with the blessing of the Emperor of Heaven's crown, it sounded like thunder.

"I order you to take charge of the front army and march to Northern Juluzhou!"

"Kill all the demons you see, and exterminate them all! Leave no prisoners, and no one alive!"

The iron-blooded and almost cruel military order came from the mouth of the Young Master of Heaven.

Then, Ling Xiao responded, and the God of War obeyed!
